“I like to tune in on sensations and emotions. Creating evocative photography which touches your soul”
Welcome to the emotive world of Katja van der Kwast. I am a photographic artist, passionate about capturing the essence of life through fine art and mixed media photography. Whether it’s the vastness of a landscape, the subtle beauty of an animal, or the depth of a human portrait, my work is defined by a deep connection to the moment and an unwavering focus on emotiveness. Each photograph is a reflection of what I feel, inviting you to experience the scene as though you were there yourself.
My journey began in childhood with a love for drawing and painting, which led me to explore various classical and contemporary art techniques through (master)classes. This creative foundation eventually guided me toward photography and fine art, where I now blend the old with the new to create evocative images that resonate with the soul.
Welcome to my vision, where every image tells a story.
” When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs.
When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence “
~ Ansel Adams ~
